The highlight and most memorable moment of our wedding day was hearing my husbands vows to me. We decided to write our own vows which I think was super special. Also just seeing how happy and beautiful all our guest looked to celebrate and share our special day, definitely will never be forgotten!
Without the help and support of our parents, their partners, siblings and close friends, this day would not have been so special and even possible. We are so grateful to each one of them!
We spent the night at the venue's cottage which was absolutely beautiful and nice to just finally take a moment and play over the wonderful and exciting day. We received a gift from my brother in-law to go to Avalon springs for a few nights after the wedding night. This was so wonderful and relaxing! We are hoping to go on a big honeymoon next year.
My look was sort of classic and elegant.

My Jewellery was very significant to me, I wore my very first pair of earring I received from my Husband a few years ago, they were diamond infinity dangling earring. I lost a Diamond and had it repaired for the wedding day. I also had on my Pandora bracelet that he bought me last year. Very plain but beautiful. My flower vine hair piece was from Lovisa Cavendish.
We got married at Suikerbossie in Hout Bay, absolutely stunning. The staff were super awesome and literally coordinated the day, we didn't have to worry about anything - they made us feel very special and at ease.
Most of our guests Uber'd as we did not have overnight accommodation.
I stress eat so there was no dieting for me but did some home yoga.

I got all inspiration from Pinterest.
Our marriage officer was Paster David Russell +27767560995. We met with him a few times before the wedding which was really cool as he got to know us and the ceremony was quite intimate. He also helped and guided us to our journey.
We also attended engagement encounter through my Catholic Church which really helped us with our preparation into marriage.
